In the old Saigon urban space, even when there are rickshaws and cars, a carriage is still a means of circulation on the street. This problem opens up directions for debate and resolution from general conception to separate treatment of an entire residential area, house … in many aspects, from the perspective of utility, technology and cultural history. how to use the parking space. The word “buffalo is an inheritance” The changing utility leading to the changing space is inevitable that every place goes through different stages of human and society. Keeping feng shui good for the house does not mean keeping the old way of eating. Medieval to modern times, both east and west were walking. When it was time to ride a cart, the “garage” was the barn, the stable. Many Vietnamese verses and proverbs say the importance of horse strength and where to keep horses “Buy buffalo and marry his wife to build a house, the buffalo is an inheritance, the cow is lost to build a stable …” . In the American Far West in the gold rush, the crime of stealing horses was dealt with much heavier than the other felony! Many hostels and dormitories in Vietnam built in the period 1955-1980 did not have parking spaces, because at that time cars and motorcycles were quite rare, most people were cycling so many works made the slope. Take your bike (even motorbike) up to 3rd floor 4th floor, reflecting the real social reality at that time. An old and modern corner, from the carriage to the modern “iron horse”, there is a lack of parking space every time! In the old quarter, old quarter in Paris, London, Singapore … there is not enough private parking space for each house, but they have well developed public transport and concentrated parking area (within a suitable walking radius. suitable for 5 to 10 minutes). In the developed countries of bicycles such as the Netherlands and Denmark, every space must be reserved for bicycles, from private lanes to bicycle parking. From not having vehicles, to attaching importance to vehicles, perhaps just over a hundred years ago, quite short compared to thousands of years of material civilization of mankind, but the spirit is not much different … The barn Horses in the past, to the garage today are essentially a space to serve the needs of travel, so in terms of philosophy, how to behave in the living space, the garage is not the essential object. As a place to eat and sleep, it is necessary to consider comprehensively according to the philosophy of the East, everything is always changing. In order to avoid bias or disdain leading to disturbance, it is necessary to pay attention to the principle of harmonization of ingredients and follow the laws of nature. To the unique “corner of the yard and the sky” Because of such a unique nature, when arranging housing premises, parking areas, it is often confused between the main and the secondary, between the actual immediate needs and the future. Leaving your car in the yard, in the house, in the basement, or even making a whole house just for the car … will depend on the circumstances, depending on the size of the homeowner’s investment. Bicycle ramps and multi-storey parking lots: changing vehicles entails utility and space must be changed. But certainly the parking position cannot be hidden in the driveway or narrow. Since this feature of the use of space is related to vehicles, it is subject to technical standards, such as minimum width, door opening, turning angle and turning radius, and zero-collision slope. … The pressure from the “feng shui designation” makes some homeowners wonder if the garage should be called Hung or Cat, how can Hung leave the billion dollar car? But in the garage and Cat is like a bedroom, living room? A karaoke bar today vividly simulates the home space, where the horse is tied in the old West in the United States. Making a garage is similar to other spaces, from doing enough and doing it right, meeting the standard and then calculating it properly (cost-effective, efficient, not wasteful) and to beautify, even do unique is indeed rare. According to the Yin-Yang principle, the places where there are a lot of communication and change frequently (Duong Prosperity) should have flexible adjustments and can add or remove the positive layouts. In essence, the garage is still a type of storage (storage for vehicles). Whether the storage for precious or discarded items, the warehouse is large or narrow, it is necessary to properly protect the contents (vehicles) inside, convenient to use, safely, and seamlessly connect with the spaces. other. A garage literally means the factory space, the warehouse is essential for every house, whether in the countryside or the city. Do you need a “storekeeper bigger than the head”? Thus, what the garage contains is also a type of warehouse, cannot replace and reverse the role with other functions. In the Bat Trach sect, after Coordinating the master with eight directions to make Bat San good or bad, the basic determination is “good in terms of good, bad in terms of bad”, it is reasonable, does not cause disturbance or insecurity. Good or bad (Cat Hung) in feng shui is conventional, not a good or bad conception of aesthetic measurement or material value. For example, the kitchen nowadays invests a lot in comparison with the office, but still has to arrange the Located Hung (located in a bad area according to the owner). Similar to many family toilets with high-end equipment, invest in the toilet as a high-quality relaxation place, but not so that feng shui layout Bat Trach compass is good for the toilet area! In other words, the concept of “storekeeper is bigger than the head” just because the garage (warehouse) contains more valuable items than the bedroom, which is true to the level of Master Taoism in weak Yang Zhi. . Modern townhouses with garage are arranged off-floor from the living room and kitchen to increase efficiency of space use. Small car parks near the outskirts are arranged next to the entrance, shoe lockers and two steps lower for spatial hierarchy. In terms of cultural origin, because the West belongs to Kim’s rational and scientific research and invention, they always make a large and convenient garage, not just a parking space. There is even a garage as a “home factory”, a place for fixing things, where children can “learn to play” through arranging and assembling jobs. This is different from Vietnam when the garage is still just a pure garage. Perhaps due to the cultural, social and living habits, the garage in Vietnam is seldom an interesting and efficient workshop, allowing families to experience machine jobs and form life skills. better for small children. The same type of premises can choose to make a garage under the basement, or the ground floor depending on the needs and structure of the whole building. The garage space can be combined well with the welcoming space, green trees, small reception … making an interesting “greeting first” for houses in the town. Use the right materials, harmonize Yin Yang It can be seen that the old traditional house was more inclined towards Yin because the materials used mainly of natural origin, the surface was rough, and there was little coating. As for today’s modern spaces, in particular the garage area always has dynamism, strong external communication … is more inclined to use positive materials, the color tone of the Kim – Thuy group is white – gray – black. quite popular. Modern feng-shui trend is to balance and harmonize Yin and Yang parts when using materials to create friendliness. Science has now proven that materials play a major role in Air Transmission both inside and outside the home. Porous materials, dark and dark colors, rough surfaces … often bring more Yin and slow down the flow of the aerodynamics, will add more balance to the garage space, which or more movement in and out, noise and smell of gasoline. Metal, when combined with stone bricks, helps to make Tho Kim compatible, support and regulate each other. Therefore, a parking lot or garage with roof will be effective with a metal frame combination with anti-slip sandstone, high tiles for easy cleaning. When arranging a garage under the basement or close to the main house, it is also necessary to pay special attention to the possibility of ventilation, limit flammable materials (wood, cloth …) and arrange a full fire protection system to avoid fire ( Fire Carving Kim). Layout in harmony with the overall architecture, durable materials, few complicated nooks and crannies … are the basic criteria for the garage. From the correct conception of exploitation and use, it is possible to establish the necessary criteria so that when designing, constructing and using the garage is not cramped or redundant, wasteful. Ideally the garage should have a parking space and car wash, tool storage and ancillary equipment. In case the townhouse is not spacious, it is possible to combine the parking space with the temporary seating space, capable of expanding the function when the house has crowded events. Therefore, this space should avoid elaborate and nooky arrangements, but priority should be given to “durable and durable” and easy to clean and maintain. According to the development line of the times, there will be new equipment and utilities to replace old systems, such as drones, smart home automation … to better serve people, the main subject of all solutions. Feng Shui in the past or now has always been the philosophy of a peaceful and sustainable residence, so it is not a temporary and invariant standard, nor is it the only principle that underpins the design. Feng Shui for the garage is the same, just to meet the needs of use, and need to adjust and reconcile Eastern philosophy with Western science to help reduce bad – increase good for more living space.
